UNITED STATES PATENT QFFICE,

GOSTE FRIEDMAN, OF JAMESTOWN, NEW YORK.

CAKE-BEATER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 636,400, dated November7, 1899.

Application filed March 1 8, 1 8 98.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GOSTE FRIEDMAN, a citi zen of the United States,residing at Jamestown, in the county of Chautauqua and State of NewYork, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cake-Beaters;and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference beinghadto the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference markedthereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements incake-heaters; and it has for its object the production of a simple andinexpensive device of this character by means of which the ingredientsof a cake or the like are thoroughly mixed and intermingled.

The invention will be hereinafter fully set forth, and particularlypointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings,Figure 1 is a perspective View of theimproved beater, showing the same connected to a section of table, alsowith a vessel partly in section to show the beaters or blades. Fig. 2 isa side elevation of the upper-portion of the supporting-standard,showing the manner of adj usting the beater-blades to and from thestandard. Fig. 3 is a transverse section through the same,showin g thelocking-bolt in full lines.

The standard which forms the main support for the beater consists of theupright A, provided at its lower end with ,an arm A at right angles tothe main portion, and in which arm is formed a screw-thread to receive aclamp-screwA,hereinafterreferredto. Also formed integral with thestandard A and at a point above the arm A are arms or horns B, the lowerface of which is made flat, so that when said arms or horns rest upon atable or other support they serve in connection with the arm A andclamp-screw to hold the beater firmly connected thereto, the front faceof the horns being made in curved form or in the arc of a circle. Theyact to firmly clamp the frame to the table and prevent any rockingmovement of the same and where the vessel employed has a plain verticalwall perdients.

Serial No. 674,344. (No model.)

mit said vessel to be held up closely against the curved faces of saidhorns.

The upper end of the standard is recessed, as shown at O, and in whichrecess is mounted a gearframe D, 7 being connected thereto through abolt and nut, the gear-frame being provided with alongitudinally-arranged slot to permit the gear-frame to be adjustedback and forth or to and from the standard. The

. gear-frame consists of the main arm D, having bearings d d formedtherein at each end witha bevel-pinion D on the vertically-arrangedshaft E, the relative size of the wheels being. such as to impart a highspeed to the beater-blades. The main shaft D is also provided with acrank or handle G, either formed integral therewith or connectedotherwise for imparting motion to the shaft.

The beater comprises a central hub H, provided with an annular enlargedportion, from which radiate a series of curved arms H. These arms arelongitudinally grooved on their under sides to receive the beater-bladesE, which latter consist, preferably, of thinmade plates tapering towardthe bottom and having the main body curved to conform to the shape ofthe arms, the portions that extend beyond the ends of the arms beingbent or curved at greater angles. By so constructing the blades theywill act to throw the material outward against the wall of the vesseland downward in such manner as to thoroughly beat or whip the eggs andother ingre They also prevent the splashing or wasting of the same.Several series of the blades of diiferent sizes to suit the varioussizes of vessels may be employed, as the head and wings or blades can bemade very cheaply, and, as has been before described, the frame isreadily adjustable to different sizes.

Having now described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to'secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a cake-beater, a beater-shaft, means for rotating the same, a hubsecured to said shaft, a series of curved arms radiating therefrom,anddownwardly-tapered blades secured at their top edges to said arms, themain body portions of said blades being curved to conform to thecurvature of said arms, the projecting portions thereof being curved toa greater degree in a reverse direction to the line of travel of saidshaft, substantially as set forth.

2. In a cake-beater, a beater-shaft, means for rotating the same, a hubembracingsaid shaft and comprising a collar having an annularenlargement, a set-screw working in GOSTE FRIEDMAN.
